DESCRIPTION

Does your Jeep YJ run without gas? It sure doesn’t and this is a concern for those wheeling their Jeep in rough terrain. The factory Jeep YJ gas tank skid plate does not offer the protection needed when off-roading on rocks and such.  Here at Motobilt we offer a heavy duty skid plate to protect the factory plastic gas tank from trail damage. The gas tank skid plate is fabricated from heavy duty 3/16” steel plate.  We laser cut and form the parts on the most advanced machines here in house in the USA. The Gas Tank Skid Plate for the Jeep YJ bolts into the factory location using the factory hold down straps and hardware. The skid plate ships welded and bare steel.  You will need to paint or powder coat it the color of your choice before installing. 

FEATURES:

  • 3/16” heavy duty steel construction 
  • Fits the Jeep YJ 1987-1995
  • Fits the plastic tank DOES NOT FIT the early model steel tanks
  • Uses factory hardware and hold down straps
  • Made in house at Motobilt in the USA.

    YJ Crawler Skid Plate

    The Crawler is so clean and heavy duty. It took me about a half an hour to drop the tank and original thin skid plate. Had to run to the parts store for 5’ of 1/4” vacuum line for vents as one was gone and the other to short to reach. It would be relatively easy to lift the Crawler up and into place with a transmission or motorcycle jack. If you don’t have that a regular jack and a friend are definitely advised. Total time with parts run and cleaning was about 3 hours. Outstanding product Genright!

    Initial perception review. Just received this the other day. Wow! This thing is extremely heavy duty. American made quality from Genright. Definitely won’t have to worry about my fuel tank, once I get it mounted.

    This gas tank skid plate is heavy, I needed a helper to install it with the gas tank half full. That said, it was not difficult at all and the fit was perfect. Getting ready for both Rubicon and Moab this year. This is a welcome addition.

Jeep yj fuel tank skid plate

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality control
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2021

Purchased for my 95JY.The metal was warped and the holes on the forward side were over an inch and a half off.I would have returned this product but I already had the Jeep disassembled and needed to make it work in order to get the Jeep back on the road. The good part is the metal is thick the bad part is it took a lot of force to correct the defect which required re dropping the fuel tank assembly.I added pictures of the original skid plate to demonstrate how far off the skid plate is from the original.

Fit my 1993 Wrangler perfectly! Its very solid, thick metal. Great price for it too after shopping around. I highly recommend it.

For the price I thought that it would be very lightweight, turns out it was heavier than the one I removed.

After reading a couple of Jeep owner's forums, I found out that the difference between a 15 gal tank and a 20 gal is some kind of something inside the tank. What that amounts to is externally a 15 gal and 20 gal are the same size. I can attest to this being true as this skid plate fit my 15gal tank perfectly. Dimensionally and by shape and design, it is exactly the same as the OEM skid plate I replaced on my '95 YJ. Hope this helps some other old Jeepers out there!

I had to replace a leaking tank, and the skid plate was rusted out so I bought the warrior product. Excellent product, only required minor manipulation to get the bolts lined up (you should expect the same). Doesn't come with hardware or straps. Straps that worked perfectly are SPECTRA PREMIUM ST 212.

I had previously purchased the Warrior diamond plate gas tank cover to match other diamond plate items I had installed on my Wrangler. However, when preparing to install the cover, I saw that the original skid plate had rusted. I had purchased the 15 gallon diamond plate cover because I have a 15 gallon tank. I started looking for a replacement for the 15 gallon skid plate and found one was not available. Because I had already purchased a 15 gallon diamond plate cover from Warrior, I contacted them for help and they wrote back saying I could use the 90710-20 gallon skid plate and the Warrior 15 gallon diamond plate cover would still fit over it. While not sure, I went ahead and purchased the above listed skid plate. Well, the engineers at Warrior were absolutely correct. The diamond plate cover I had originally purchased from Warrior slipped over the new Warrior skid plate and installed on my 1995 Wrangler with no problems! It looks great and the rust is no more! Good job Warrior!

It is very well made. I did have a little bit of a problem getting the holes to line up. I put the front bolts in first, and then I used a pry bar to spring the back holes inward about a quarter inch to get the bolts through.

It was a tight squeeze to get the plate around the gas tank. With some ratchet straps we were able to mount the plate.

Reviewed in Canada on March 17, 2020

Perfect fit for my 94 YJ. Much heavier gauge metal than oem. I pulled tank out and replaced pump and fuel gauge sender while the tank was out. Thought I should considering the hassle of pulling tank down again should the pump fail.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fit

Bought this for a 1993 YJ and it fit just like the oem one.
